TOSHIBA Excelart 1.5T MRI Scan Machine

TOSHIBA Excelart 1.5T MRI Scan Machine

The Excelart 1.5T MRI scan machine is a superconducting whole body MRI machine with the industry’s widest, short bore design with a 17 large aperture for more “open” feeling that increases your patient’s comfort level. It has a 1.5T magnet that provides superior homogeneity and low cryogen usage for efficient, cost effective imaging.

The Excelart 1.5T MRI machine uses the SPIN technology that provides high quality images to satisfy the demands of any exam. With this technology you will benefit from the Speeder parallel imaging technology which is a revolutionary advance in acquisition speed to reduce scan times for increased patient comfort and excellent quality images. You will benefit from the Pianissimo noise reduction technology that reduces acoustic noise by 90%. You will also benefit from interactive scan parameter adjustments during the scan for optimal image contract and a user friendly interface. 

The Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1.5T MRI machine is an ultra-short, ultra-wide-bore system with adjustable lighting and ventilation features designed to ease patient anxiety without sacrificing performance. Powered by Atlas, the Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1.5T MRI Scan machine delivers high-resolution images across the entire body with faster imaging times.

Each used Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1.5T MRI system features an integrated coil concept that allows for multiple examinations without repositioning the patient. Purchasing a Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1.5T MRI machine will enable comfortable exams and enhanced clinical workflow.

When the Toshiba Excelart 1.5T MRI system was first launched in 2004 it attracted considerable attention and further established Toshiba as a major player in the MRI industry. Now that the model has been around for several years, it has started to gain attention as an attractive refurbished MRI system because of its versatility and performance.


“With its high-field strength, the Excelart Vantage delivers the clinical capabilities and image quality expected by cardiologists, while simultaneously offering patients a more comfortable and non-invasive option,” said Dane Peshe, director, MRI Business Unit, Toshiba America Medical Systems, when the system was first released. “Excelart Vantage supports a full complement of cardiovascular imaging studies, ranging from stroke evaluation to peripheral vascular imaging.”

Some of the other features of a pre-owned Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1.5T include SuperFASE morphology that allows for crystal clear vascular images of the heart and large vessels. The Toshiba Excelart 1.5T is also compatible with SPEEDER, Toshiba’s high speed imaging program. Some of the other options for the Toshiba Excelart 1.5T include high resolution 2D and 3D imaging, and peripheral MRA.

Toshiba hasn’t been making MRI systems as long as GE, Siemens or some of the other leaders in the field, but Toshiba has been winning over patients and service providers alike in recent years, so make sure you give ample consideration to purchasing a used Toshiba Excelart Vantage 1.5T MRI machine.
